Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[xeyra]

I'm not going to get into a whose program is better debate because I like both guys, but Yuzu's LGC is NOT a program you can try to make a case for lack of complexity. Especially not when you realize exactly how tough his entries into his 4Lo and 3A are and that's only part of what he does in his SP.

It's ok, I can look for the legs myself...

I'm surprised that with the amazing FS that Hanyu produced at Worlds, this article decided to focus on his struggle to put together a clean competition. I mean it's not like the last 2 world championships were won with 2 clean skates

I want to join in on the back photos (really just appreciating his lines here!)

Who was the lady commentator there?

I'm currently watching the whole men's event again, I thought it would be a nice idea for this Friday evening. Two more groups until Yuzuru!

Not quite sure, but I don't think she's a former skater or anything. Robin had to say 'actually the first person was his countryman Kurt Browning back in 1988' and then she replied 'oh well I was well out' lol I just can't believe she thought 2010 was when the first quad was landed

I think this is just part of how people have much hogher expectations of him compared to other skaters... even he himself.

Well the UK reuters are nothing but complimentary to him, so do not focus on articles (this other reuters) who focused on other stuff.

Truth to be told, none of the top 6 men this season has skated 2 actual clean programs back-to-back beside Boyang (and he only did it once). So that alone should be a hint that you should not take this article seriously

ETA : actually the last time there were WC won with 2 clean skates was during the time when Jeffrey Buttle won it (2008) (maybe evan lysacek too but he got a flip call iirc)
And these 2 men did not have a single quad on their layout

This narrative is really weird, as if Yuzuru is the only World Champion who wasn't clean in both programs. Who ever is? Javi's two wins came with so-so SPs and slightly cleaner FS (heck, in 2015, he just made less mistakes than Yuzu in his FS and even ended up second in after Denis Ten). Before him, Patrick, when he was winning World Championships, won with some falls too, which prompted lots of criticism at the time. Maybe before quads were the norm World Champions were cleaner. Don't know what prompted the article but it's kind of amusing.

Ah, these are not major competitions,you know. People get dismissive about GPF

Maybe that's why Mishin(?) conveniently forgot about that too, when he said he has never seen Yuzu produce a clean FS like at Worlds?

 

[YuzusHydroblade]

He just loves to make strange faces, doesn't he?:scowl:
Yes, it's pretty good thank you :luv17:

Mishin must have been drunk late in 2015. That's why he never learnt what the buzz and the fuss were about.

Is this from last week's practice after the scary 4Lo fall?

Believe me, many people are doing that kind of political game. Most of them.

yep, but he's lying there as if practising yoga.

 

[YuzusHydroblade]

I apologize because i keep going into invisible mode but
Could we add a session of yoga to Yuzu's double sided stroking dvd

 

[sydney]

oh my that 4Lo fall was scary , these kind of fall are so unexpected .

 

[sallycinnamon]

yep, but he's lying there as if practising yoga.

I saw his legs in the air and his head on the ice, it was horrible, I didn't know what he was doing there because he didn't stand up for a short while
